Sweet Knishes (Kosher) - 6 Pack

Sweet cheese knishes from America’s oldest knishery. The six-pack mixes apple cheese, cherry cheese, blueberry cheese, chocolate cheese, plain cheese, and apple strudel, each wrapped by hand in a thin layer of dough and baked. Yonah Schimmel Knishes has been a Lower East Side fixture since the 1890s, when Rabbi Yonah Schimmel began selling from a pushcart, and the kosher knishes are still made the traditional way. Perfect for a Hanukkah dessert spread, a kosher brunch, or anyone who thought knishes were only savory. A sweet slice of New York history.

This package includes 6 sweet cheese knishes

  • Each knish is approximately 4"
  • Yonah Schimmel Knish is Kosher Cup certified

This product ships overnight during the summer.

Knish Flavor Options

  • Apple Cheese – Scrumptious combination of apples and cheese
  • Cherry Cheese – Sweet and tart cherries with creamy cheese, what a perfect combination
  • Blueberry Cheese – If you like blueberries, you’ll love this knish
  • Chocolate Cheese – Chocolate lovers delight
  • Plain Cheese – This may sound simple, but it’s just absolutely yummy
  • Apple Strudel – Better than apple pie (Vegan)

  • To serve, heat knishes in a microwave for 2 minutes or in a 350F oven covered with foil for 10 minutes or until warm. Remove the foil for the last few minutes for a crispy knish. Best enjoyed with some deli mustard!

New York, NY
Without a physical storefront, Romanian immigrant Yonah Schimmel first sold his knishes using a pushcart around the Lower East Side. As business grew, he established his bakery on Houston Street in the 1890s. Yonah Schimmel Knishes has since been a neighborhood fixture, even despite the continuous changes on the Lower East Side over the decades. Today, Yonah Schimmel’s still makes knishes the traditional way—hand wrapping a filling of potatoes or kasha (buckwheat grain) with a thin layer of dough before sending it to the oven to bake. On top of the traditional potato and kasha knishes, they have also added modern flavors—sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, jalapenos, and even sweet cheese ones!
